Maps can tell much about the story of a place that traditional histories fail to communicate. This is particularly true of
Edinburgh, one of the most visually stunning cities in the world and a place rich in historical and cultural associations.
This lavishly illustrated book features 71 maps of Edinburgh which have been selected for the particular stories they reveal
about the political, commercial and social life of Scotland and her capital. Many are reproduced in book form for the first
time. Together, they present a fascinating insight into how Edinburgh has changed and developed over the last 500 years, and
will appeal to all those with an interest in Edinburgh and Scottish history, as well as anyone interested in urban history,
architectural history, town planning or the history of cartography

"This book analyzes the development of the Israeli economy in its historical context. It shows how the ideology of the dominant
group in the Zionist movement led to the development of agriculture , thus meeting the preconditions for successful industrialization
. Remarkable, if uneven, growth has taken place, with increasing allocations for defense. Regional isolation led to the emphasis
on high-quality exports for developed markets that has stimulated the technological base. Israel has benefi ted from mass
immigration and increased access to foreign capital - factors that have transformed the economy. The book includes chapters
on the development of the Jewish community in Palestine during the British Mandate ; macroeconomic developments and economic
policy; globalization and high technology ; defense ; the economics of the Arab minority; Israeli settlements and relations
with the Palestinians ; and the role of religion. It concludes with an examination of the socioeconomic divisions that have
widened as the economy has grown"--Provided by publisher

Whilst documents and other written material are obvious resources that help shape our view of the past, maps too can say much
about a nation's history. This is the first book to take maps seriously as a form of history, from the earliest representations
of Scotland by Ptolemy in the second century AD to the most recent form of Scotland's mapping and geographical representation
in GIS, satellite imagery and SATNAV. Compiled by three experts who have spent their lives working with maps, Scotland: Mapping
the Nation offers a fascinating and thought-provoking perspective on Scottish history which is beautifully illustrated with
complete facsimiles and details of hundreds of the most significant manuscript and printed maps from the National Library
of Scotland and other institutions, including those by Timothy Pont, Joan Blaeu and William Roy, amongst many others. -- Publisher
